mTAIL-seq reveals dynamic poly(A) tail regulation in oocyte-to-embryo development

Here, Lim et al. report a new version of TAIL-seq (mRNA TAIL-seq [mTAIL-seq]) with enhanced sequencing depth for mRNAs (by ∼1000-fold compared with the previous version). Using their new methodology, the authors investigated mRNA tailing in Drosophila oocytes and embryos and demonstrated a relationship between poly(A) tail length and translational efficiency during egg activation.
